The Beast Within
By: April 26, 2008
Inside us all,
There lives something so dark.
Something so horrific.
We all try to deny,
It’s existence.
We cover it up.
Bury it deep within.
But no matter what,
The dark voice,
Always has it say.
We try to block it out,
Try to contain it.
Destroy it,
Control it,
But we never can.
The darkness within,
Always prevails.
The more we fight it,
The deeper it grows,
Getting louder and louder.
We hinge,
On its every word.
Listening intently,
But wishing we didn’t.
Maybe this time is different?
We always convince ourselves,
That we are stronger,
And actually run the show.
That we’re the master,
And it’s the puppet.
But deep inside,
As much as we love to deny.
We all know,
We’re just another puppet,
In the mist
Of the beast within.
